Haha HT, those of us who know you realise you really only want to be able to raid the fridge at night...
Being the bugger that I am, I would like to digress and comment on some of the earlier comments regards almagamation of trades. From my discussions with people who have been through this process, it may seem that less is not necessarily more. While these dovetailing of trades with similar responsibilities look good on paper in the same vein that a design engineer will put pen to paper but in the real world does not have to service what he has created. Talk to any Tech and they will bitch at length on this point alone.
I have talked to several trades that suffered this upheaval in the last decade, from the 500 series trades to the RMS people. From the comments I have heard there is no real happiness overall. Mich might have a different perspective as she has been closer to the fire with the Nav Comm world. Talking to the Air Det about this I get the general impression that they feel they have to cover too broad of a spectrum now and cannot get as comfortable in their trade as they did previously.
Being in the MSE area of the Navy I am in one of the trades that is being looked at in a similar vein for the future, say 10 to 15 years from now. If I understand correctly, they will collectively dump all what are now Stokers/ET/HT together for their intital training to common core. After a period of time they will then split them off into one of the three branches of work. This is I believe similar to what is done with the RAN and possible the RN. I don't know how they have made out and if it works as a system. I can see the appeal on paper for something like this, but in the trenches here the feeling on my side of the house is united. We don't like the idea one bloody bit and there will be a serious loss of experienced personnel should it occur as these people are on the 10/30 plan. Just like when they created the CAF from the Navy, Army and Air Force. Shotgun weddings will work after a fashion, but here we are after almost 40 years of unification and there are still some missfires in the engine from time to time.
) Its may not be a highly technical job like Electrican or Steward but keeping your fridges and freezers in good sanitary shape, rotating your stock to ensure and spoiled or out of date stock is removed and the financial accounting it takes is just the tip of the ice-berg. To me I just simply love the job I think its the best thing supply has going for it, Navy wise, and its not really a supply job.
